Indian Rupee Ends Lower at 95.55 Amid Oil Price Easing and Dollar Strength
The Indian rupee showed mixed movements on August 27, opening slightly lower but recovering early gains before settling down 11 paise at 95.55 against the US dollar. The currency was influenced by easing Brent crude prices, ongoing Iran-Oman talks on the Strait of Hormuz, and strong US dollar momentum. The Reserve Bank of India’s interventions and significant foreign inflows through special swap facilities also impacted the rupee. Market participants are closely watching US inflation data and the upcoming Federal Reserve speech for further direction.
